It works fine and runs my disk at the full manufacturer's claimed speed. 2.2.2 did not support the 53C875J chip in the FirePort 40. 2.2.5 and -current support it at full speed. The LED doesn't work under FreeBSD, so you miss out on some flashing lights. The ncrcontrol program is a selling point. I know of no equivalent for the Adaptec controllers. I've not seen the dual version, so you would have to try that yourself. If it is just 2 SCSI chips behind a PCI-PCI bridge it should work. Stephen.
